Hi All Can anyone that's done a Lothian and Borders Medical explain what it consists of? They say it takes approximately an hour, just seems a bit long? Any help would be appreciated! sachaakakim

Afternoon all and happy new year to all Just a quick question. Spoke to my uncle last night at a party, and he was telling me that his Godson has recently joined GMP, and that he is someone who is an excellent fighter, tough as nails, hold his own against anyone, and that police forces are increasingly looking for this manner. Apparently he is not agressive, but has been in fights in the past and likes and showing off his strength. As someone who wants to join, I certainly hold my own with people if it needs to happen, but I am by no means confrontational or agressive. I am not particularly physically imposing (5"9, 10 stone at 16 years old) but can look after myself, …

Hi All, I had mentioned previously about us all meeting up and having a night out prior to starting, so if anyone still wants to do this let me know we will get some names and dates and suggestions on where to go. I'm not saying this is only for the January intake if any of the Strathclyde applicants want to come along I'm sure it wont be any problem. Yvonne

hi i am not sure if this question is too specific for someone to answer but here goes. in the role plays, if someone is shouting or getting aggressive with you which is he best response? i was thinking of just sayin ' please calm down, i cannot talk to you/help you while you are shouting at me etc' and keep repeating that. would that be ok? cheers

Hey What is the exact meanings of equality and diversity? Do we treat everyone equal?

Hi. I'm in the process of applying to GMP and want to get a holiday booked but am concerned about this clashing with start dates if I am successful. How much advance notice of your start date do you get? Cheers Kat

Hello, I am new to the board and so far have found it a real help so thanks to all who contribute :) Joining the police has something I have wanted to do since year 8 (13), having been inspired by family who are in the GMP and BTP. I am now 16 and entering 6th form soon, and still intend to join the police. My main question is would you advise studying for A-Levels and then joining at 18, or going to university and gaining a degree, possibly serving in the specials whilst there and then applying full time. I would prefer to apply to join at 18, however my parents have advised against this, whilst other members of the family (ie serving officers in the family) have said…

Hi, This is my first post on here. Im 33 and applying to Warwickshire. I spent the first 9 years of work in the financial sector in London. Then I travelled for a bit, finally living for 4 years in France. I have had several 'varied' jobs since leaving london....I now am self employed although this is recent. I am now settled in Warwickshire where I live with my partner, she is expecting a baby (yes im the father lol). I applied to Essex years ago but terminated the application due to a motorbike accident and being a bit young. I have always had an interest in policing and now would be a good time. Also it would be a secure job as I will soon have a family to support. Wha…

Hello, I'm looking for some advice... I'm a contracting IT trainer and have worked for the police in the past (one of my more enjoyable contracts). At the time I was SC but that has now timed out. I was hoping to get more similar SC work in the future but had an unfortunate experience while doing some work in Glasgow. In short I was convicted of a minor crime - the judge stated that although he was convinced that I was ignorant of the law he still had to fine me. So I am now the owner of a criminal record. My question is, does this mean that I have no chance of getting SC again? Any advices gratefully received.
